    A lion sized ant would asphyxiate rather quickly. Breathing through spiracles/tracheae doesn’t scale well.

      And the lions would quickly get too cold by having way too much surface area.

      Scientific accuracy is no fun for shrinking and growing things.

    Ant size lions are too small. Can I have 50 tennis ball sized lions instead, please? (And utter chaos would ensue…)

    Fight? I’m sure you meant “keep as a pet”. And obviously the microlions. I’d feed them ground beef and try to maintain a breeding population, eventually sell them as pets.

      Yeah. This is the only correct answer. I just wanted to keep with the Lion Fighting theme that popped up last night.
